He's so handsome 😍

Very good video. Its been years now. Hows it holding up?

It’s hard to catch fish there imo

Looks good man, EZ build works fine i guess? wd

I can’t find a PWM for a brushless trolling motor

I love tour setup, i may build onw on my lifetime tamarack angler. Why did tou mount the stwering triangle ao far up on the motor shaft ? It seems like it would be better lower down, but maybe im missing something. Thanks!

Omg the black n yellows! Literally what my yak looks like right now cause Amazon just came by! 😂

Ok. Rear mount vs side mount. Is the extra steering install and PWM worth the effort, extra holes in the yak? Stability should be good enough unless you need to zoom on the ocean. I’ve owned a Hobie which I installed a motor in the hull. I know the advantage of a motor and peddle drives. Not a fan of always using paddles. That’s old school! Much simpler side mount install utilizing the rod holders behind the seat on my Tamarack pro.

Interesting . I have a Hobie and your steering system somewhat mimics it. The taughtness is important to completely control. Even the Hobie needs adjustment every so often

Excellent vid. Is the PWM necessary with Newport 35 thrust? I just purchased it. Can’t you control power from the handle? I guess not…too bad if true

Great job.

What rods do you use I think I seen a ugly stick in there somewhere

I'm glad I came across your channel, brother! I have the same kayak and after a recent fishing trip with my wife and son I got really interested in adding a motor to my yak. Since my son is new and my wife can't handle paddling, I end up tethering kayaks to mine and pulling em. I love them dearly, but paddling for other kayaks limits how far we can go and how fast. I've been planning on adding a motor to help give my arms a rest without getting dragged back out by the wind a current while pulling them. Seeing this process done on my exact kayak has given me a lot more confidence and direction on the parts list. Fantastic video! Appreciate you taking the time to film this and put it up. 100% sub from me!

As a bouncer at a highly famous GAY club…. If you had any idea how “POPULAR” those bass pro hats are within the “community”……. 😂😂💀👍

So, what is difference in price and price "point"?

This is a fantastic DIY build! Thanks! I just finished a DIY wireless trolling motor build video for a transom mount minn kota and might modify my regular Tamarack using some of your tips!

Well, I dislike you and your channel. I was set in my mind that I was NOT going to put on a trolling motor. You went and made some great videos on the topic and have changed my mind! Dang you! Great kayak, thanks for sharing all the info. That motor really scoots you along!

Really on the fence about a trolling motor. On one hand, sure is great to have. On the other hand, it is a lot of extra stuff to take. I went from boat to kayak and it was liberating to strip down my tackle. Taking less and fishing with less. What a conundrum. Maybe the hot summer will change my mind. So far this year, we have not had hot weather yet

I travel a lot with one piece rods in a coupe/hatch I put a bungee cord on the “oh shi” handles and put the tips of the rod thru it and across inbetween back and front seats. Rests in the trunk or back of hatch. Works great in civics and velosters.

You're gonna want to plug the screw holes in that box so that water doesn't sit on top of them and rust away. You could buy plugs, but a dob of Vaseline on the screw and then blutac stuffed into the hole would suffice. You could even take a sharpie to it to make it black 😂

What ever happened to 1 battery and 1 small powered motor. Worked great for yrs in my jon boat

How is the fan going to cool in a sealed box?

Excellent job man. Thanks.

So from what I understand, this would let you go Forward and back only with the setup you have. What about turning left/right? Did I miss that part in your videos or are you relying on paddles for turns?

did I miss the wiring part .you talk about parts but not where the wires go

Lookin foward to range of use what trolling motor are you using. Thank you

Whats the total price of everything for this setup excluding battery and trolling motor?

Thank you for making this video. I'll be building a modified version of your mount for my kayak. The issue I have is that my kayak does not have a perfectly horizontal surface at the ideal location for the mighty mounts. The surface is slightly tilted in just a few degrees. I'll have to use two L brackets on each side to mount the cross bar to.

Good day, I reached all three of my nearest Home Depot and Lowe Centers, and I was unable to secure a square tube@ 1/8 thickness. Did you order online? I really like this trolling motor mount, and I wonder if the cross bar @ 1/16 thickness will be strong enough for my kayak.

What size create is that ? Thanks , and nice video.

So what keeps water from going around the switches on the top of the box?

Any feedback on your battery? Has it held up during you owning it?

Im wondering how this PWM is working now. I’ve heard they have issues burning out which is the only reason I’m considering building an ESC instead. I really like the price of the PWM though!

Hey man. Statement first, not a fan of the big box. Could you mount that box somewhere else hidden and just put a smaller box up by the seat for the switches?Just feel like that would be a cleaner look.

Nice setup! I’m using this for my lifetime. I had something similar but yours is better and lil more simple than mine! I subbed! 💪🏾💪🏾

Had this kayak for about 2 yrs. I live in florida and fish the intercoastal, there is always waves and current. I have flipped it oncce, standing up not paying attention and took a wave broadside. Longer stiffer paddle a must. You also donot have suppers, they are a big need for me. I dont carry a crate because i have a water proof hatch in the back where i store my fish inside the kayak, not bass fishing so my fish are between 2 to 3 foot long. But hey to each his own.

Good job!

fan in a waterproof /sealed box is worthless

Excellent video!

How do you tilt the motor. If you get in shallow water

I use the same pwm controller you're using I left the head on my Minn kota and just use the wires for the battery hookup to the pwm am I trolling motor won't run am I doing something wrong

How hot does that box get, any cooling louvers necessary? I realize it would compromise waterproofing but does it need to cool?

Great idea, but am interested to see if you change to the foot pedals after fishing for a while. I had an original tiller system that took my hands away from fishing. After connecting up to my foot pedals, it was so much easier to cast, retrieve, etc. while my feet did the steering stuff.

I assume you did not need to secure the back of your mount to your kayak? Thanks

How did you secure your battery box to your kayak? Thanks

Dude..well done. You gave me a bunch of ideas

Very nice work, really well done, big thumbs up. I finally have time to fit my feelfree kayak with a motor. May I ask what pwm controller you used? I'm not sure if there is a difference between 10A, 20A, 60A or 100A. Can you advise which one to choose? Thank you very much for your answer.

I’m looking at getting my son who is turning 14 this for his birthday. Great review!

How many speeds does this control? I want to do this with my Newport 55lb that has 5 forward and 3 reverse speeds and wondered if this pnw would work

I notice that you didn't vent the box(?) Any issues with over heating?
